Avondale Heights Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Avondale Heights

After a significant wind event, ridge caps often shift laterally — not enough to fall, but enough to break the pointing joint. The cap looks intact from the street but the seal underneath is gone and the next rain goes straight through.

Why It Happens

Lime-based mortars used in pre-1950s homes are more permeable than modern cement mixes — they breathe rather than trap moisture. When they fail, they tend to wash out gradually. Replacing them with rigid cement creates a stiffness mismatch that concentrates stress at the tile-mortar interface and accelerates localised failure.

How We Fix It

After re-bedding and pointing we run a final check on all hip-to-ridge junctions — that's where water concentrates and where any gaps in the fresh pointing will be exposed first. Those junctions get a secondary bead of flexible sealant as an additional barrier.

"True Roof fixed a leak that three other companies couldn't find. Incredibly thorough inspection, identified the real cause and repaired it properly. No more ceiling stains. Five stars, easy."

"Got three quotes. True Roof wasn't the cheapest but was clearly the most professional. 10-year warranty sealed the deal. 6 months later, not a single issue."
